The NASCAR Week That Was: Dec. 27-Jan. 3

Happy New Year! Just 42 days until the Daytona 500 and the after New Years rumors have already begun. Earlier in the week news surfaced that the on-again, off-again Petty Gillett Evernham merger appears to be on again, with the deal in its final stages. The news of the merger came just days after Elliott Sadler’s removal from the #19 car in lieu of AJ Allmendinger. Sadler has in turn filed notice against GEM claiming they breached his contract. This is the NASCAR week that was December 27, 2008 to January 3, 2009.
